Now and the Evermore

Woke up Sunday morning Salvation army at my door Playing Onward Christian Soldiers 'Til I couldn't take it any more I ran across the graves at night With those three witches at my tail I heard the wail of the now and the evermore All things are never equal And I don't know who's keeping score Nobody gets a sequel, no Everyone gets shown the door I'll be counting on the rising sun To give me all my waking days Until it sets up on the now and the evermore Goodbye to the life we knew Don't save it 'til the end It could be me, it could be you Or some old long lost friend And if I'm calling out your name I know if you can hear me, you will come You can leave a note or light a flame Sing a song or even bang a drum I saw The Lady Catrina She was all a-jingling at the bar Playing an Italian concertina You know she's really quite the star She told me everything's a circle dance And we had been here many times before And we're all a part of the now and the evermore Goodbye to the waterside And down that shady lane In case you're lost and wandering It does not look the same Goodbye to the life we knew Some roads you just can't bend It's made me one with everything Before I reach the end
